We invite the semiotic community to nurture the reflection on the topic: “The Soviet and the Post-Soviet in Dialogue with (Post-/De-)Colonial Studies”.

We encourage to submit articles that explore encounters, possible dialogues and cross-fertilization between (post-/de-)colonial studies and the intellectual and cultural history of the Soviet and post-Soviet world.

Papers that adopt semiotics, linguistics, literature, literary theory and discourse analysis as a perspective of inquiry are especially suitable; however, we warmly welcome works from other approaches such as history, philosophy, political and media studies.

Possible contributions could deal with (but are not limited to):

the study of a Soviet author/text/school and its possible relevance within the colonial discourse;
the history of the relationship between the Soviet world and the anti-colonial movements and theories;
the relevance of Soviet history of language ideas to contemporary discourse on coloniality;
minority literature and other “marginal” cultural expressions/artefacts of the Soviet time analysed through the post-/de-colonial lens;
contributions to Soviet theory in the analysis of coloniality;
possible dialogues between Soviet theory and post-colonial/decolonial discourses;
Soviet theory and (post-de)colonial theory analysing the post-Soviet world;
well-grounded comparative analysis between the Soviet and the post-Soviet space and different geocultural contexts, by making use of the critique of colonialism/coloniality;
the study of narratives and counternarratives about the present-day post-soviet area’s concerns (security, independence, etc.) according to a post-/de-colonial framework.
